CONDITION REPORT

• The Model Plane Components: New, un-assembled, and completely unused condition. The pieces remain sealed in their original protective clear plastic bags.
• Material Ageing Notes: Please note that due to the natural composition of the white polymer plastics used by Premier Portfolio during this production era, the plastic has spontaneously yellowed/creamed slightly over time from long-term storage. This is an even change across the material and is entirely expected for vintage white plastic models of this vintage.
• The Display Box: Good structurally sound vintage condition with some shelf wear, scuffing to the edges/corners, and creasing from storage. Fully intact with the original barcode. (Please inspect the photos carefully to satisfy yourself with the exact cosmetic condition before bidding).

This piece represents a major historical milestone in European aviation history. Monarch Airlines was the global launch customer for the heavier, extended-range Airbus A321-200 variant, with the very first aircraft entering service directly into the Monarch fleet in April 1997. The fleet heavily relied on the stretched A321 to ferry holiday-makers across Europe for decades until the airline's tragic closure in October 2017.

These official travel agent models were highly sought-after display pieces and are now treasured collector's items. Finding an example that has never been assembled with all parts still safely heat-sealed in factory plastic is highly unusual.
